The Mission!

This blog used to be where I would blog about my days spent working for a salon called 'Roots'. I loved my job, but things happen in life, and I now find myself unemployed due to company cut backs.

Will this stop me? NEVER! I will keep blogging and keep on 'keepin' on' until I land on my next perch. Who knows, maybe the view will be spectacular! Maybe the air will be crisper! Maybe... maybe I will get catered lunches! I know.. too far.

The point is, I am here to stay. The mission for me for 2011 is to find another job and blog about this new and very unforeseen adventure!

I hope you all stick with me and keep me company through the transition, and I look forward to hearing from you all!

I have to apologize folks. I promised you a video tonight, and I don't have one to serve! I am a dirty, filthy HORRIBLE liar! I feel terrible, and I am super sorry! Just so you know though, it -is- in the finishing stages of being rendered and WILL be here tomorrow!

Here are a few technical notes, or updates if you will, on the blog front; I changed things around a bit so that anyone can comment, regardless of you having a blogger account, gmail or Twitter. Logging in with those accounts is still an option, but you can now choose to just leave your name and a comment, or comment anonymously. I hope that helps, I know it is lame when you want to say something but you are confined to the red tape of the internet!

(this is a huuuuuuge huge hint to leave comments by the way. If I could set up a nice table full of cookies and other baked goods to bribe you with, I would do it. I have not figured out how to upload delicious food yet, but I'm working on it... )

Also, I am plotting out a blog contest to host either weekly or monthly. I am not going to get in to great detail yet because I like to dangle carrots, but it should be really fun. I want to tap in to your artistic side, and award you with something for being creative! It miiiiight have something to do with photography... maybe... shh.

Speaking of photography! The Roots photo shoot is coming up pretty quick, November to be more precise. We will be putting out a model call, as I mentioned earlier somewhere down there *points down towards the sea of text below this entry* If you happen to have modelling experience, or know someone who has had modelling experience feel free to contact us and let us know. You can email us at rootsthesalon@shaw.ca, we'd love to hear from you!

We're going to have a blast at the shoot! I'm so excited! I need to go on a costume and prop hunt. I should drag our lovely miss Ida-Marie out for a treasure hunt (and take pictures... bwahaha) one of these days. We could dress up like pirates and get away with it since it is so close to Halloween!

Speaking of that spooky holiday we all love, Crystal-lee and I were going over my costume idea (Audrey Hepburn meets old school secretary) and she is going to do my makeup. This is exciting news! I've been waiting for an opportunity to have her work her magic on me!

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone - Audrey Hepburn

I should add costume bits and pieces to the list of things to treasure hunt for. This is another very valid reason why I should be 'hunting' with Ida. She has an amazing eye for things like this, and I could get her to help me pick out my costume.

Ida-Marie, this is a 10,000lb hint I'm dropping, by the way ♥

Anyways ladies and gents, I am off to watch a movie and wind down for the day before drift away to dream land. Ok, I'm lying again, I'm not going to watch a movie, I'm going to watch the latest episode of Dexter. Probably not the best pre-dream land thing to watch, but it's SO GOOD!

I am excited to go to work tomorrow, as always! I still feel weird loving my job so much, it's never happened before. I quite literally l.o.v.e going to work every single day. I would be super envious of me if I were not me, which I am, so I'm not envious I suppose. One deadly sin I can cross off the list! Score!

I do hope that tomorrow is a less strange day... Annierose and I were discussing how weird our days were. It seemed like one of those off days for everyone, almost like the day of calamity! I was even clumsy today, and I can't count how many times I tried to beat myself up on walls, burnt my mouth with tea, smacked myself and ran in to random objects! I did it so much that the furniture in my house was starting to cower and shudder in fear of me ramming myself in to them again! Thankfully the clumsy part of my day did not start while I was at work, our clients might have thought I was less than sober if I was walking around bumping in to things all day.

I assure you, my clumsy day had zero to do with substance abuse!

Maybe there is some sort of astrological explanation for this! I should call up my buddies in NASA and find out what is going on!

DISCLAIMER: The calling up of buddies in NASA only exists in an alternate reality where I actually HAVE buddies in NASA. In other words, it doesn't exist.

I will see you all tomorrow WITH a video to post!

In the mean time, we would love to see you over at our fan page on Facebook, so if you haven't done so yet and you want in on the fun, head over and 'like' us. We would like you back, but I guarantee you we already do like you!
